"Get her"I heard them yell. I ran as fast as I could and made it to my truck. I unlocked it and got inside and then locked the door. I tried to turn on the car on but I was so scared that my hands were shaking.
I heard banging and seen them. "Open...
"Yes, I'm finally finished"I said sitting down my brush.

"Finally. I'm hungry"
"Where are you taking me anyways?"I asked as we walked down the stairs.
"On a date"
"This is not a date. Your just taking me out now where are we going"I said rolling my eyes.
"Don't worry about it. You'll see when we get there"He said sounding like he got a attitude.

We walked inside this place called Nabe Harlem and there was a group of girls singing on the stage and artwork all over the walls.
"This is nice reem. You once again surprise me"I said as we got seated at our table.
"My brother use to take me here all the time before he passed. He had a thing for Japanese food and he felt like this place was relaxing"He reminisced.
"You guys seem close"
"We were but we started to drift apart. And when he died, it hit me hard"He said and I nodded.
"How may I take your order?"The waitress asked stopping me from saying anything else which I was glad for.
"I'll have the Chahan"Rakim said.
"And for you?"
"I'll have the Yaki Udon"I said and he nodded.
"Will that be all?"
"Yes"I said and he walked away.
"Do you even know what that is?"Reem chuckled.
"No but I would like to try it?"I smiled.

I stumbled into the house and walked to my room safely. Rakim wanted to stay to see if I was alright but I told him to just go home.
I turned on my light and ferg was sitting on my bed.
"What are you doing here ferg? It's 3 in the morning"I asked confused.
"I'm here for you"He said looking up at me.
"Get out my room ferg"I said taking off my heels. He got up and grabbed me throwing me on the bed.
"What are you doing ferg?"I yelled as he got on top of me.
"I want you Mel"He said kissing my lips and groping all over my body.
"Stop it ferg"I cried. Memories of devontae taking advantage of me made me cry harder. He managed to take off my skirt and I knew I couldn't let this happened.
I grabbed the lamp on the side of the bed and smashed it on ferg's head. He fell on top of me and I pushed him over. I straddled him and started smashing in his face with the lamp thinking of all the times devontae raped me.
I felt someone pulling me off of him and telling me to stop. I cried into their arms as they held me.
"What happened?"Bari asked coming into the room. He looked over at ferg and his eyes widen.
"She won't stop crying"Nast said.
"H-He tried to rape me. I-I just-"
"Don't explain yourself. I got this covered. Take her and the kids to rakim's house nast"Bari said and nast nodded. Nast helped me up and I packed some clothes for me and Aaliyah and got sincere's bag.
"You alright"Nast asked me as we drove to rakim's house.
"Yea"I nodded still a lil shaken up.
"You know he's dead right"
"I didn't mean to kill him Nast. Reem is gonna hate me for killing his best friend"I cried into my hands.
"Stop mel. This is all fergs fault. He tried to rape you and he was wrong. You defended yourself. Ok"He said rubbing my back and I nodded.
We made it to rakim's house and he was sitting on the porch. He jumped up and ran over to me hugging me. I instantly started crying and he held me.
"I'm not mad at you baby. It was self defense"He said and I nodded into his shoulder.

Rakim was gone to get us breakfast and I was home alone watching the kids. I heard a knock on the door and walked over to it to find Twelvy at door.
"What-"I got cut off by him grabbing me by the throat and slamming me into a wall.
"I-I c-can't b-breathe"I choked out scratching at his hands.
"Ever since you came, you broke up the mob. You got illz killed and you killed ferg. Your just ruining everything. You even took rakim from me"He said angrily.
